Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium is a suite of applications for creating video, audio, and interactive productions in a variety of formats.

Disc Only (ESD Product Required)

To request this disc-only product, you must request the corresponding ESD suite product at the same time or you must have requested the ESD suite product within the last six months. You cannot request the ESD product after requesting this disc-only product. The ESD version includes a product license; this disc-only product does not.

Benefits for Organizations

If you have image- and video-editing experience, you can use products in the Production Premium suite to:

• Create and edit high-definition video and publish movies to DVD or Blu-ray
• Add motion graphics and visual effects to video sequences
• Create and edit digital images and vector graphics

64-Bit Only

Creative Suite 6 Production Premium requires a 64-bit operating system. Native 64-bit support gives applications access to more RAM than 32-bit systems do and increases efficiency in working on complex projects.

Premiere Pro, After Effects, SpeedGrade, and Encore are native 64-bit applications and run only on 64-bit operating systems. Photoshop and Illustrator are native 64-bit applications, but also run on 32-bit operating systems.

Applications in This Suite
